This unique chime has a waterproof compartment for preserving a keepsake. Our Woodstock Memorial Chimes are specifically designed for those who want to remember the dearly departed, inspire others or themselves with a time capsule memento, or spend time in meditation or quiet contemplation. Every time your wind chime rings, you'll have a wonderful remembrance. A touching tribute for a beloved family member, friend or pet, the underside of the wooden chime top houses a cast metal urn for ashes, a lock of hair, a poem or other sentimental keepsake, placed safely out of sight. The chime's enchanting, peaceful tone is a wonderful way to celebrate relationships every time the wind blows the chime rings in fond remembrance. Place a small memento in the compartment located under the wooden chime top. Commemorate your love, preserve a memento or keep a loved one close. It could be ashes, a lock of hair or tuft of fur, a copy of a poem or sand from a favorite beach. It could be a token or charm that represents a favorite hobby, sports team or career choice. The "time capsule" has a weatherproof seal, keeping your treasure safe and secure. The metal windcatcher hanging at the bottom of the chime is a good spot to add a personal message. In 1979, Grammy Award-winning musician and instrument designer Garry Kvistad created the first Woodstock Chime from an aluminum lawn chair he found in a landfill. Fascinated by the Scale of Olympos, a 7th century pentatonic scale that can’t be played on a modern piano, Garry cut and tuned the lawn chair tubes to the exact frequency of the ancient scale. The resulting Chimes of Olympos was the first Woodstock Chime and is still one of our best selling, musically-tuned windchimes. Garry and his wife Diane still develop the chimes today as part of their family-owned business in New York’s Hudson Valley. Woodstock Chimes - The World's Favorite Windchime.
